Salesforce Field Level Security
Field-level security in salesforce controls whether a user can see, edit or delete the value for a particular field on an object, unlike page layouts which only control the visibility of the field on detail and edit pages of an object. It secures the visibility of fields in any part of the app including related lists, list views, reports, and search results.
Field-level security can be applied to multiple fields on a single profile or permission set and can also be applied to a single field on all profiles.
Methods used to achieve field-level security :
Restrict Field Access with a Profile: Restrict a user’s general access to fields by providing Read Access and Edit Access.
Add Field Access with a Permission Set: a permission set is for expanding a user’s access to fields that are restricted in their profile.
Let us now look at Record Level Security.
